Inside the Bond: Paige & Azzi’s Rare, Raw Relationship Reveal
WNBA Stars Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd Open Up About Their Relationship in New Documentary
Who Are Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd?
Think of them like the dynamic duo of women’s basketball — best friends who became something more, and now they’re teammates on the Dallas Wings!
Paige Bueckers (age 24) and Azzi Fudd (age 23) first met when they played together at the University of Connecticut (UConn). They spent four seasons as backcourt partners — that means they worked together on the perimeter, passing, shooting, and defending as a team.
Important Point: Even though they played four years together, injuries kept them off the court at the same time for a lot of it. They only played 49 games together total!
The Big News: A New Documentary
A three-part documentary series called "The Dynasty: UConn Huskies" is premiering Friday on Apple TV. In it, Paige and Azzi talk openly about their romantic relationship for the first time publicly.
What They Shared in the Trailer
| Player | What They Said |
|---|---|
| Azzi Fudd | "Paige and I are a couple, and everyone close to us that was important knew. But it was just kind of one of those things, it’s just private, not a secret, but private." |
| Paige Bueckers | "It kind of just meshed as soon as we met. She’s sweet. She’s genuine. She has a huge, caring heart. We kind of felt like a spark a little bit different than what would just be considered a normal friendship." |

How They Handle Being a Couple and Teammates
Paige’s Professional Mindset (April 2025)
"Me and Azzi have always been the utmost professional. We’ve always conducted ourselves as such, and we’ve never let anything that happens off the court carry onto the court. That’s what we continue to do. Me and Azzi are not new to this. We’ve been doing this for a long time. We have countless reps at it."
What Happened at Azzi’s Introductory Press Conference
A reporter asked how they’d navigate their relationship as pros. The Wings’ PR team stepped in immediately:
"Understand why you have to ask that question. We’re going to respectfully decline from commenting on our players’ personal lives."
Translation: "This is their private business. Let’s focus on basketball."
Fun Moment: All-Star Weekend Reveal
During the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend, Paige did an interview with WAGTalk. When asked about Azzi’s phone case that said "Paige Bueckers’ girlfriend," Paige confirmed it with a smile — making it public in a lighthearted way.
